Michael’s Birthday Celebration Weekend

*	Elyon  (Jonathan TR):  This is Elyon, most 
happy to be here in attendance to fellowship.  It is 
my highest priority to engage with my fellows, to 
share, to acknowledge our Creator, to experience and 
express love.  Today I want to speak a bit about 
standards.
	It is worthwhile for every aspiring soul to 
project ideals and to translate these afar off 
ideals into goals.  A goal has the effect of drawing 
an ideal closer to oneself, to personalize it, to 
release it from a vague, all	encompassing worthwhile 
to a possess-able, attainable state of being.
	You know, as you are very much engaged in the 
framework of space and the chamber of time, that 
measuring is often a required action for you to 
accomplish your daily tasks.  This does apply to 
growth in the spiritual realm.  So you create 
standards, standards to attain, standards below 
which you will not let yourself settle.  Within this 
margin is where you function.  Your goal always 
exists above your highest standards.  As you fully 
transform your personality, the lower standards 
rise, but they are no longer crossable.  It is not 
that you will not let yourself go below, but rather 
you have become incapable of stooping.  It has 
become a void, no longer relevant.  But there is a 
potential hazard to standards, for it is tempting 
for the mind to continually judge your worthwhile 
qualities and your more embarrassing behaviors.  So, 
though you will over time use standards as mile 
markers to attain your goals and personalize your 
ideals, I encourage you to work more with gauges.
	A gauge reads from its minimum to its maximum.  
The accuracy of the gauge is where it indicates at 
any point in its spectrum.  As you read your gauge 
and discern you are at midpoint, you have your 
reality check.  It does not tempt you to evaluate if 
you have fallen short of your standard, that you 
have sunk below your bottom line.  It merely gives 
you your feedback.  Just as when you drive your 
speedometer gives to you verification of your true 
speed.  All these elements contribute to your 
growth.  Yet it is beneficial to maintain an 
orientation, to be inspired by your ideals, 
challenged by your goals, held to your standards.  
and to monitor your gauge; for the gauge is the 
indicator of your present progress.  You may 
experience frustration if you spend too much time 
worrying about your standards, judging how close you 
are to your goal.  Today, this moment, your gauge 
gives you your current position, your current 
velocity.  This is the data from which you will 
benefit.
	I am finished.

*	Michael (Mark):  I return to your midst.  I 
surround you with my presence; I hold you in my 
bosom.  I support you with my love.  I promise to be 
with you throughout our journey together.  I yearn 
for your companionship.
	I offer my appreciation at your demonstration 
this weekend of your affection for me and my mission 
which is the mission of our Father.  I beckon you to 
join me arm in arm as we demonstrate to the world 
the characteristics of our Father.  We are to become 
these traits, so we are visible to those in your 
realm.  It was a great joy to witness the 
lightheartedness of your gathering this weekend; the 
joy with which you come together is touching to all 
of creation.  Take this joy and mix it with the love 
you feel in my presence and spread this out to all 
you contact.  This is our privilege.  This is our 
mission.  And all is going according to plan.  What 
a great and glorious plan it is, my friends, my 
coworkers.  You are coming to taste the sweetness 
that is a result of your labor.  You may grow to 
yearn for this sweetness, to hunger for it in your 
everyday life.  It is the force to pull you forward, 
to draw you toward our Father, and I am there with 
you.  I desire you to be with me.  What the two of 
us shall desire shall be.  It is only time and your 
experience to bridge the gap.  Even this is a joy 
and a privilege.
	Feel my presence in your lives, each and every 
one.  As you leave this place take that with you.  
Recall it during your days, during your weeks.  
Allow this presence to be your new reality, a gift 
and also a direct result of your efforts to earn it.  
My peace I always leave with you.  My presence I 
desire to be with you more and more.  I look forward 
to this as our new reality.  I leave my love with 
you.
